There is a really horrifying thread on twitter of videos of biologically male trans people masturbating in public places, primarily in women’s toilets, videos that these trans people themselves have posted online.
At least one of them is “post op” and gleefully posted this video online of themself masturbating with a dildo, not in a cubicle but in the common, open part of the toilets. Presumably the shock that an unsuspecting woman or girl would have had on walking in on this was part of the frisson for this individual. Just as posting their exploits on the internet is part of the thrill.
This is not female pattern behaviour.
There are multiple convicted male sex offenders currently housed in women’s prisons in Canada. At least one of them is fully “post op”. He continues to harass and assault women (with impunity, furthermore) even now his penis has been inverted to create a neo-vagina.
There may be similar males in the UK prison system, though of course the details are all kept as obscure as possible.
I imagine that the great majority of “post op transsexuals” do not fall into this category. I don’t for a moment ascribe that horrific behaviour to someone like you, Blue, of course. But it does show that the mere fact of being “post op” is no guarantee of anything.
The mind of a rapist stays the same whether he keeps his penis or not. Women are still not safe with him. He is still a threat to women’s well being.
And as so many have said already, even an utterly harmless transsexual person may cause distress to women and girls simply by virtue of being still recognisably male - and there is just no way to police who is harmless and who isn’t.
So the only thing that will give women and girls what we need is across the board exclusion of all males, however they identify, present, or modify their appearance.
But of course first you have to be interested in giving women and girls what we need. Not a priority for society now, or indeed ever.
But hey! We got that ruling and I’m bloody well still chuffed about it.
